My personal theory on how Obama came to be known as an intellectual was from the numerous Ayers and Dohrn parties the Obama's attended. Everybody just knew that when it came to Trivial Pursuit, the Euro-Soviet Version of course, you wanted to make sure that Barry was on your side.

“....how Obama came to be known as an intellectual..”
We all know that Progressive Democrats are brilliant intellectuals; that they are vastly superior in intellect to the rest of the population.
The media, universities, schools and local Democrats have told us so. So, it must be true.
IMHO
Character is much more important than intelligence. Qualities both BOs appear to lack. Obama is more like Norman Mailer’s Hipster. OReilly will not be honest about Obama because he is looking for future interviews. He gives “Dr.” Hill a forum, giving him status. If he wanted a black spokesman, why not Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell? I have stopped viewing OReilly because he has become insufferable. He is constantly hawking his merchandise. He says it is for charity. He must be using it as a tax write off.

Barry is not "intelligent". IMO Barry's IQ is around 90, 100 is the 'norm'(1). And every college and/or Univ he attended, his acceptance was due to, not his 'intelligence' or GPA, but his skin color. That includes being named Editor of the Harvard Law Review where Barry didn't write one stinking thing -- a record still unmatched in the History of Harvard Law School.
(1) For 'the record' my IQ is 132 so Barry can go pound sand. (I took a previous IQ Test when I had the Hangover of the Millennium and got a 127. I didn't even complete the last dozen questions. In my latter one I was sober)
an aaside: Annnnd I have never lost a game of Trivial Pursuit either! People even accused me of 'cheating' by memorizing ALL the answers (like a dummy could do this?!?), and I never even owned the darn game.
In an office like the presidency, intelligence is of much less consideration, as it would be presumed a person of true character would not seek the responsibilities of a job he/she was not intellectually and emotionally prepared to execute.
His “intelligence” is a cover for his lack of experience.
He ran and got a job that requires leadership and executive level decision making. No one has seen his resume and what ever “history” of this guy is out there has been fabricated. Other than emulating Chavez and living like a celebrity on our dime, he hasn’t accomplished anything. Even with a supermajority and an adoring media on their knees for him, he couldn’t get anything through except through executive order. Congress voting to spend kajillions of our kids dollars is not due to him, it is the nature of the congressional dems.
